Kimberly Johnson, PsyD

Dr. Kimberly Johnson, PsyD, is a licensed clinical psychologist and a certified PSYPACT provider, enabling her to work with clients across numerous states. With a diverse professional background that spans high-tech engineering and clinical psychology, Dr. Johnson brings a unique, multidimensional perspective to her practice. She is deeply committed to providing culturally competent, client-centered, and compassionate care to individuals from all walks of life.

Dr. Johnson earned her Doctorate in Psychology from John F. Kennedy University after an accomplished career in the technology sector. She initially pursued a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science at the University of Idaho, which led to a thriving career in Research and Development at Hewlett-Packard. Over time, she held leadership roles such as TiVo Senior Marketing Manager, HP Director of Consumer Imaging, and Adobe Senior Business Development Manager. However, her enduring fascination with the brain and human behavior eventually drew her back to psychology, where she found her true calling—helping individuals navigate life's challenges and build fulfilling futures.

As a clinician, Dr. Johnson works with a broad and diverse client base. She has experience supporting older adults, veterans, military personnel, public safety employees such as police officers and firefighters, and those dealing with severe trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, chronic medical conditions, racism, relationship struggles, and career or life transitions. She believes that therapy should be a secure and confidential space where clients feel empowered to explore their thoughts, emotions, and challenges.

Dr. Johnson’s treatment approach is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps clients identify and reshape core beliefs that influence their emotional and behavioral responses. She is particularly attuned to the impact of trauma at any stage of life and works closely with clients to transform negative or skewed perspectives into healthier, more balanced outlooks. Her ultimate goal is to help individuals gain insight and develop strategies to lead more positive, fulfilling lives.

Dr. Johnson’s personal journey has also shaped her empathetic and versatile approach. As the daughter of a military parent, she lived in numerous countries and states growing up, gaining a deep appreciation for different cultures and perspectives. She has lived, traveled, and worked in many places, changing professions along the way, which has made her adept at connecting with people from all backgrounds.

Dr. Johnson takes pride in the work she does, knowing that every session brings her clients closer to healing and growth. For her, psychology is not just a profession; it is a deeply fulfilling journey of guiding others toward a brighter, healthier future.

When she isn’t working, Dr. Johnson enjoys unwinding with her one-year-old puppy, catching up on sleep, and pursuing her passions. She loves designing and creating jewelry, attending the theater, indulging in fine dining, and immersing herself in the world of sci-fi. Traveling and exploring new countries bring her joy, as does gathering with family. While she has already had an impressive career spanning multiple fields, if time and energy allowed for yet another career shift, she would love to work with dogs—bringing happiness and security to their lives.
